#### There are so many ways to help support The Art Garage and visual arts in your community!
As school enrichment budgets are cut and nonprofits struggle to secure funding, The Art Garage relies on YOUR generosity to make our adaptive, high-quality, visual arts programming for toddlers, kids, teens, adults, seniors, and individuals living with disabilities possible! **Help us keep splattering, sculpting, and weaving the arts into our community by **[**donating today**](https://www.coloradogives.org/organization/ArtGarage)**! No gift is too small to make a BIG difference!**
##### Monetary Donations
